I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 7 Don’t leave after school
It's another early morning.

After Pei Ju practiced sword fighting with his bare chest in the yard, he took a shower, put on his school uniform, and carried his schoolbag. Someone was already calling his name outside.

Outside, a high school student was riding a bicycle, one foot pressed against the wall, and yelling, "Big Saw, hurry up! We're going to be late."

"Coming." A reply came from inside, followed by the sound of a bicycle being pushed. Then a person opened the door, pushed out the bicycle, stepped on it, stood up and pedaled.

"Hurry up." Pei Ju in front shouted.

Two bicycles came out of Qingyi Lane one after the other. A girl came out from the building next door. She was wearing the same school uniform as Pei Ju: a white short-sleeved shirt with a blue collar, blue trousers, a pair of white shoes, and her hair was tied in a ponytail with a blue rubber band.

"Miss, schoolbag, the school is not far from home. Are you really not planning to go home for lunch?" asked the middle-aged woman.

"I'm not coming back. It's too troublesome to go back and forth." Although the girl's voice was soft, she seemed to be very opinionated.

"Okay, miss, let's go." The middle-aged woman replied obediently.

……

Pei Ju and his classmate Zhou You each bought food at an old knife-cut bun shop on Qianmen Street at the entrance of Qingyi Lane.

"Big Saw, let me treat you to a big bun." Zhou You said.

"Ah? Why? Have you done something to offend me?" Pei Ju stared at Zhou You.

"No, no, I didn't tell the Fourth Master that you went to fight." Zhou You said hurriedly.

Pei Ju didn't ask any more questions, as he didn't think Zhou You would tell him.

But why did you treat me to big buns for no reason?

This shop’s big buns cost two yuan each, with lots of meat in them. They all like to eat them, but he likes them but can’t bear to spend them, so he usually buys a normal small bun with two steamed buns, which costs just one yuan.

Pei Ju lived with his grandfather. The income from the sword hall was not high, so he could only barely make ends meet. He tried to save as much as possible when eating out.

"Then why did you invite me?" Pei Ju asked again.

People were coming and going in front of the steamer, and soon it was their turn.

"Two big ones and two small ones." Zhou You said quickly.

The two men left the stall with the buns, got on their bicycles, and ate while riding.

"Go on." Pei Ju rode the bike with one hand, took a bite of the bun, and asked vaguely.

My grandfather once said that no matter who treats you well or badly, there is a reason, either your own reason or the other person's reason.

Pei Ju paused for a moment and continued, "I'm telling you, if it's against human nature, don't say it. I'm a swordsman, and I can pierce your throat with one strike. You can't bear it."

"What?" Zhou You said he didn't understand. Why did he get to the topic of sword practice? Although he didn't understand what Pei Ju meant, he felt that it might not be a good thing, so he quickly said, "I wrote a letter, can you help me deliver it?"

"Who are you sending it to?" Pei Ju asked in surprise.

"Your class's arts committee member is Liu Yijiajia." Zhou You didn't know if it was because he had a bun in his mouth or was shy, so his voice was a little unclear.

"Oh, you have a crush on her." Pei Ju knew something about it. After all, they often went to school together and naturally chatted about the girls in their respective classes. Liu Yijiajia was the girl in Pei Ju's class who always had the best appearance and dress, so many people in the school wrote love letters to her.

Not only are there high school students of the same age, but also those in higher grades, and I even heard that there are people from society.

I didn’t expect that Zhou You, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would take this step.

"Okay, give it to me later and I'll help you." The two of them rode the bike with one hand, carrying their schoolbags, eating while riding.

Along the way, students continued to gather into a river of youth and headed to Shentu Community No. 2 Middle School.

Park your bicycle under the canopy on campus and lock it.

Zhou You took out a love letter wrapped in pink paper and handed it to Pei Ju without even looking at it. "Pink!" Pei Ju said jokingly.

Zhou You's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out, and he said nothing.

Pei Ju took it in his hand and squeezed it. It was quite thick, so he said, "Okay, I will definitely deliver it to you."

The two were not in the same class, and because class was about to start, they walked very quickly. They separated in the hallway. Pei Ju took long steps, taking two steps at a time, and ascended the stairs three steps at a time. When he turned a corner, he happened to see Liu Yijia.

She had long golden hair and was walking upstairs with a female classmate. Pei Ju immediately took out a love letter wrapped in pink paper and called out, "Liu Yijia."

Liu Yijia immediately turned around, looked at Pei Ju in surprise and asked, "What?"

"Here!" Pei Ju handed it over directly, and the other party took it instinctively.

He had nothing to feel embarrassed about. After all, it was not his love letter, and he did not say who gave it to him, because love letters must have their names written on them.

Who writes a love letter without signing it?

So he didn't say whose it was. After handing it to the other party, he still took two steps at a time and strode up the stairs, leaving them behind.

However, he heard another classmate exclaim, "Wow, a love letter, Pei Ju!"

Liu Yijiajia reached out and smoothed the blonde hair by her ear. She opened her mouth, and although she didn't say anything, it turned into an unconcealable smile.

"Look, look at what he wrote?" The female classmate wanted Liu Yijia to open it now. Liu Yijia immediately put the love letter in her pocket and said, "How can I show this to others?"

"Stingy, stingy guy."

"Hmph!" Liu Yijiajia hummed proudly.

Pei Ju didn't hear the person behind him. He went straight in from the back of the classroom, sat down in the last row in the middle, and hung his practice flat wooden stick in the small gap on the edge of the table.

At this moment, the student in the front row immediately turned around and said, "Pei Ju, the sword club is recruiting new members. Do you want to sign up?"

"Sword Club, when did it happen?" Pei Ju was not surprised. He knew that there was a sword club in the school and the president was the school's physical education teacher, and he also knew that the president had a first-level swordsman certificate.

In the entire school, the most popular club is the Mystery Inn, followed by the Fighting Club, then some Exploration Clubs, and then the Sword Club. As for basketball and football, they are ranked even further behind.

The sword club was not everyone's first choice, and the whole class knew that Pei Ju practiced swordsmanship.

Because he carried a sword-like wooden stick with him every day, he had already been involved in several fights not long after entering high school, and they were with older people.

What's more, he also studied in junior high school here, and he has a great reputation in the whole school.

In the eyes of many classmates, he is just a little yellow-haired boy without any yellow hair, who can challenge the gangsters outside the school.

"Let's go and have a look after class." Pei Ju said.

Just as he finished speaking, someone at the door suddenly shouted, "Who is Pei Ju?"

Pei Ju was stunned. He looked at the person at the door. He said he didn't know him but he knew him because he was a senior student in the upper grade and a celebrity in the school. He was not only handsome but also had good swordsmanship. He had participated in the performance of the school sports meeting and was liked by many girls.

His name was Yuan Boyi, and now he was standing at the door, shouting who Pei Ju was and asking Pei Ju to recognize him.

Everyone in the class couldn't help but look towards Pei Ju.

Pei Ju narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not afraid of anyone. Who could eat him?
Pei Ju straightened his body. If there was a backrest, he would have leaned back. He said, "Yes, is there anything wrong?"

"Don't leave after school." Yuan Boyi pointed at Pei Ju, then turned and left, coldly and coolly.

He turned and left without giving Pei Ju a chance to speak. The whole classroom fell silent. Liu Yijiajia, who had just entered the classroom, looked at Pei Ju with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
